Remember the “hole in the ozone” craze? Whatever happened to that one? It seems like that faded away just as Global Warming became the new cause du jour for fear mongers, paranoids and the easily duped
“Remember the “hole in the ozone” craze?”
Yes, and what did we get for all our money?
Crappy refrigerants and a lot of money down the drain.
The AGW scam is far more insidious IMO. Taxes, regulations, totalitarian, or so it seems to be. Your breathing is going to be subject to government oversight...
That one seemed to retreat to the back burner as soon as manufacture of F-12 was outlawed in the US and R134 was introduced.
Saw another "sky is falling" piece recently which claimed the ozone hole had closed too tightly and was contributing to global warming. I'm sorry, I don't have the reference. I just read it and chuckled.
I remember that one. We kept sending things into the upper atmosphere to test the declining levels. I remember a comedian doing a gig about this. His premise was that the hole was exactly above where we had been sending up the probes. The probes had punctured a hole in the ozone layer, and made it worse each time. He suggested we stop sending up the probes and the hole would heal itself...............Guess he was right, huh?
